Nursing is an art:  and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter’s or sculptor’s work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God’s spirit?  It is one of the Fine Arts:  I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts.  ~Florence Nightingale

I’ve kept this under wraps, and have to share.

Because of the cost of formal invitations I chose to purchase the smallest package possible and my girlfriend Jeryn created me an absolutely gorgeous digital invitation that I have had printed out 4×6 size.

So, {most of you} know me by Jenny. To make a long story short…Jenny is a nickname given to me by my paternal grandfather when I was only a few months old. Not sure how he came up with it but I have always been so thankful, and seriously, I am a Jenny. My real name is Virginia Rose. I was named after my paternal grandmother. Nannie didn’t exactly like her name either and I think she would have preferred that my mom and dad had named me Elizabeth or Isabelle. When I was filling out my intent to graduate paperwork I had to decide what name I wanted on my degree and honestly it was a hard decision for me…

It was hard, but I decided to use my legal name. And I am happy. Nannie would be very proud of me, and her spirit will be with me when that degree is placed in my hands…

Our Pinning Ceremony will be held Friday, May 8th at 6pm. Because of the history behind the Pinning Ceremony I am excited to light that candle and look forward to my dedication of my pin…

Well, that’s my Wednesday rambling. Going to kick back and prepare for LOST and enjoy the remainder of the evening. Tomorrow is going to be heavy on photos of some goodies I splurged on, and goodies that I received from Sharon this morning. Life is good!! Have a great remainder of your Wednesday friends.
